exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

No.. it was a joke...

The missing RN board didn't get sold in the store anyway.

There seems to be a lot of confusion over my joke :roll:

Firstly, as mentioned already. There are no PCB quality issues with these boards. Aside from the one missing resistor pack which wasnt put into stock. I inspected each board twice before shipping and did not see any other missing parts. The joke wasn't related to the missing part, in fact it was totally unrelated as I did not even notice the missing part until after I did the post. I did not change the image as I thought nobody would even notice..

Secondly, it was in no way slating terriblefires boards in anyway. Sometimes I make the odd small joke to terrible fire and he does to me sometimes. His reply was he understood the joke.

All the joke was, was the fact that I am a Atari guy and selling "Amiga rubbish" . I of course am not looking to start another Atari vs Amiga war, I already wrote lots of times that I am strongly against such posts, but sometimes we joke about , as do others.

But unfortunately some people do take offence as they don't understand the "forum spirit". Long term users here all know its a joke and know how strongly I am against such "machine wars". But I now see such comments are misunderstood by some people.

So I apologize for any confusion it may have caused. It was more a personal joke to terrible fire than anything . I am of course grateful for him letting me sell his boards, as I am sure others are also. So far it has paid for my new large PCB oven and some other items I will buy soon. He has been very generous and expected nothing in return. I am also using a TF536 in one of my H4 motherboards, as are others.

I took it as banter.. which is how it should be taken.. And as a Scotsman who lives in Glasgow banter is a way of life. Everyone should get over it. Seriously if you're kicking at exxos for that banter you clearly need to call a doctor and get a sense of humour transplant done urgently.

Nobody is kicking off :) just some people are a bit confused what I was actually saying, so was just clarifying in case anyone else reads it :)

I think an important point here is that both @exxos and @terriblefire have publicly stated no offence was meant or taken and an apology offered to any who took offence.

It's a good example of proper forum etiquette and is a good example for us all to follow!

Batch 4 is now SOLD OUT!

Thanks for everyone's orders!

I have started to a new thread to see if there is demand enough to do another run. https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =76&t=3112
